arm64 aka rock64, x fails on stretch

[Alan Corey]

OK, I got it from somewhere, I'm on an xorg list too.  Now I'm posting
to 3 lists by replying.

Watch the lines with (EE) in them, those are the actual error lines.

[   331.529] (EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed
[   331.742] (EE) modeset(G0): drmSetMaster failed: Invalid argument
[   331.742] (EE)
[   331.742] (EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for gpu driver 0 -1
[   331.768] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

The second batch of errors may be because of the first, or not, but
"Server terminated with error" is the show stopper, you just have to
figure out why.  Modeset bombed, maybe it's because of the 24 vs 32
bit difference but that seems common.

Earlier is
[   331.528] EGL_MESA_drm_image required.
[   331.529] (EE) modeset(G0): glamor initialization failed
that may be the cause.  I didn't get far trying to google the
"EGL_MESA_drm_image required."

I only see 1 (EE) in my own xorg log and that's from something that
there's no capability to do in hardware so it's done in software
instead.
